class Pry::CodeObject

This class is responsible for taking a string (identifying a command/class/method/etc) and returning the relevant type of object. For example, if the user looks up “show-source” then a `Pry::Command` will be returned. Alternatively, if the user passes in “Pry#repl” then a `Pry::Method` object will be returned.

The `::lookup` method is responsible for 1. figuring out what kind of object the user wants (applying precedence rules in doing so – i.e methods get precedence over commands with the same name) and 2. Returning the appropriate object. If the user fails to provide a string identifer for the object (i.e they pass in `nil` or “”) then the object looked up will be the ‘current method’ or ‘current class’ associated with the Binding.

TODO: This class is a clusterfuck. We need a much more robust concept of what a “Code Object” really is. Currently commands/classes/candidates/methods and so on just share a very ill-defined interface.

lookup variables and constants and `self` that are not modules

  if safe_to_evaluate?(str) && !looks_like_an_instance_method?(str)
    obj = target.eval(str)

    # restrict to only objects we KNOW for sure support the full API
    # Do NOT support just any object that responds to source_location

when no paramter is given (i.e ::lookup), then we lookup the ‘current object’ from the binding.

def empty_lookup
  return nil if str && !str.empty?

  obj = if internal_binding?(target)
          mod = target_self.is_a?(Module) ? target_self : target_self.class
          Pry::WrappedModule(mod)
        else
          Pry::Method.from_binding(target)
        end

  # respect the super level (i.e user might have specified a
  # --super flag to show-source)
  lookup_super(obj, super_level)
